Bio-IT Innovative Practices Award 2024 for Pistoia Alliance IDMP Ontology

The Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) Ontology is a cross-industry collaboration that shifts the model from reactive to a proactive Pharma-driven development of industry standards in collaboration with ISO standards authors and regulatory agencies. It provides a universal product data model as the backbone for the pharmaceutical industry, enabling patient safety and efficient exchange of product information between stakeholders in the healthcare sector. Thus, the IDMP Ontology bridges the gap between diverse perspectives on medicinal products in an innovative, ontological approach. We are thrilled to announce that our IDMP Ontology has been honored with the Innovative Practices Award at the Bio-IT World Conference in April 2024. This prestigious recognition underscores the groundbreaking work and dedication of our team in advancing the field of biomedical informatics. As we celebrate this remarkable achievement, we reaffirm our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and continuing to make significant contributions to the field of biomedical informatics. The recognition of the IDMP Ontology at the Bio-IT World Conference serves as a reminder of the impact of our work and motivates us to strive for even greater accomplishments in the future.
